dont worry about it. thats just the air temp your motor breathes in. as outside temp drops so will that temp. as outside temp goes up so will that temp

wait till you see it in bumper to bumper traffic on a 90* day it will climb HIGH

I think the default setting turns the IAT gauge red at 100*F, nothing to worry about. I've seen iat temps above 140*F when it's 105*+ outside.

Go with the HPT temp, 99 and up dash gauges don't reflect the actual temp.

You guys are lightweights. Ive seen over 160 on my car with stock thermostat and stock fan temps with a FRA mod that let the hot air rise off the radiator and right into the intake. Made me get some cool air ducting right quick...
